Perspective on Metal Halides with Self‐Trapped Exciton toward White Light‐Emitting Diodes

Abstract Metal halides with self‐trapped exciton (STE‐MHs) featuring broadband emission have manifested great potential in white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs) with encouraging progress proceeding at an exhilarating pace. In this Perspective article, the focus is on the key issues and challenges of STE‐MH as the single‐layered emitter in WLEDs after providing a brief introduction for STE and its working mechanism of the relevant white‐light emission. Possible approaches and future research directions for efficient STE‐MH‐based WLEDs are also put forward, aiming at promoting their application in the next‐generation high‐quality solid‐state lighting sources.
